Al-l, SWEET MEMORIES Ah, school daze, school daze! About fifty kids, of whom fourteen were to graduate here, began first grade drudgery, holiday parties, and Christmas pageants together. We thence emerged into Ir. High. Our first big party was a potluck dinner-dance. Then came Senior High, and the Sophomores initiated us Green Fresh- men. Long undies for the boys and burlap bag blouses for the girls gave us a touch of glamor. We repaid our debt to the Sop-mores with the traditional party. Our class officers were elected as follows: Harold Burrow, presidentg George Iaksa, vice-presidentp Shirley Brink, secretary: Betty Teer, treasurer. Charles Duby left to wear Bell-Bottom Trousers. As mighty Sophomores we had the pleasure of doing the poor innocent Freshmen-- Ain't we rascals, but that's the custom and how we loved it! Al Conquest was elected class presi- dent: Arthur Keith, vice-president: Dean Thoro- man, secretaryg Roy Baker, treasurer. These Be1l-Bottom Trousers are getting popular. Dar- rell Cutright is wearing them now. jerry Haynes wanted to be unique and gave the Merchant Marines a chance. Our Sophomore year was saddened by the death of Clarence Coon. Ouite a successful year-our junior yearl Our prom - the Starlite Hop in February - a scrumptious success: our play, Mama's Baby Boy , was an aisle-rolling event, our parties- Iunior-Senior rug-cuts and Senior-junior frame- struggles. Our officers were president, George Iaksag vice-president, julia Lesko: secretary, Shirley Sittsg treasurer, Boy Baker. 'Ye good ole' service sure took the bumper crop of men this year-I. T. Carter, Bruce Freathy, Robert Lemme, and Merle Voltenburg. At last we're Seniors and have the run of the school---we think! Election of class officers with A1 Conquest holding the gavel..for the second time in our four renowned years. Whitey Bur- row was backing him up. Ardis Hodges was elected official pen-pusher and Donna Har- wick banker . Flicker pictures, ECHO dances, and football games with Seniors selling nourish- ment on the sidelines occupied our valuable time 'til the Senior play practice started. Cast parties were many and then THE NIGHT. The first-nighters hurried down the aisles, only to sit tilted on the edges of their chairs with a cold sweat dripping from their feverish brows as they watched the mystery play, The Sixth Key. The Magazine Campaign was started by an assembly of Ioe the man who came to dinner Shields' jokes. Of course the Seniors partici- pated so they could earn money for the ECHO. The ECHO staff was chosene-Donna Harwick as Beconversion Chief, her foremen, Betty Teer and Dean Thoroman, were on the beam too. Donald Young was chosen Business Manager with Shirley Sitts and Max Taylor as his chief assistants. Our skip day on Ianuary 31 was loads of fun. Forty of us started out with Mr. Wallace as chauffeur and Miss Berdan holding down the whole shebang. We visited a court trial first, then police headquarters. Four girls were absen- tees but they picked up a big, hearty, Irish policeman to guide them back on the right track. Then we had lunch, but most of us forgot to eat because we were riding on the escalators at Hudson's! On to various types of shows, and then most of us trudged wearily back to the bus while about six of the late-comers buzzed up in a slightly crowded taxi. We snoozed all the way home. On the 46th day of the year 1946, the Class of '46 presented a dance for all students with 46 dances-and oh yes, the fee, 46c per couple. Ouite a coincidence! This was just one of our many ECHO Dances. We had a Shoeless Dance , Bobby Sox Brigade , Daisy Mae Drag , The Bunny Hop , and others. We enjoyed another skip day in Detroit before our Senior Prom. Baccalaureate saddened us with the realiza- tion that we were leaving Our High School . On Class Night we enjoyed Cf Yummy Class Night Dinner. Afterwards we were chippered up with slamming jokes and silly gifts. Commence- ment climaxed our Senior social life.
